A long accent in A

A short accent in GE (→FEEE)

Our proposition

At the beginning of the bar, A has a long accent under e flat1. As accenting the note that is not struck is impossible on the piano, the accent mark may only refer to d flat2 in the upper voice. For the avoidance of doubt, in the main text we are moving the accent and place it above the R.H. part. GE (→FEEE) have an ordinary short accent under e flat1.
